wow, this author really fails at some of the basic concepts of marketing. gary bourgeault needs to learn that different venues play to different demographics.

I thought at first it was a bad attempt at parody, then perhaps a bitter liberal wannabe blogger turned away by all the liberal blogs, then maybe a bitter Conservative blogger...

Then I realized it didn't matter. It's a giant steaming pile of shiat regardless of what asshole pooped it out.

When I say in the headline that Obama and Clinton say the far left liberal Web sites are losing impact, I mean they are saying yes through their actions.

And when I say Gary Bourgeault is a bad journalist, I mean he misrepresents facts and tries to manufacture quotes.

TFA: They are now the ones who are marginalized, as Democrats realize hearing both sides of a story and issue are important and valuable to Americans. People also tired of the hate spewed from the keyboards of these ranters, and want to hear how someone really stands on issues.

Wow. I mean, just, wow. Fox "Fair and Balanced" News presents both sides of the story, huh? I suppose if a Dem is on FN, then there is a chance that could happen.

What the actions of Howard Dean, Obama and Hillary Clinton also communicate is these liberal sites don't hold the power they thought they did, and to shun them is better for their campaigns than it is to acknowledge them.

So, appearing on one media outlet means that you are shunning other media outlets. I'm sure that ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN, and MSNBC are outraged by this flagrant favoritism of Fox News by all the Democratic brass.

"regular" creationists misrepresent quotes and try to manufacture facts.

so he's a reverse-creationist?

TFA blows... and who cares, anyway, what those Democrats do?

I'm not a Democrat, I'm a Liberal: Democrats go to meetings.
I only wish we could elect a real Liberal to the Presidency.

Using this guy's "logic", conservative blogs are endangered because rank and file Republicans decided to ignore them and chose McCain as the GOP nominee.

Only telling one side of the issue seems to work for Rush and his ilk.

Makes sense.

Immediately after 9/11, websites decrying the Iraq War, the Bush Administration, et al were considered radical and a novelty.

Nowadays you can't sneeze without knocking one over.

When something becomes commonplace, it doesn't hold near the impact it did when it was rare.

The Iraq war ones were pretty damn rare, because, you know, the war was still in the FUTURE immediately after 9/11.

Only John Titor's website had anything at all to say about it.

HATE HATE HATE HATE HATE. If you read the damn thing, it just says: "Liberals hate."

The only thing I hate is ignorance. Ignorance includes strawmanning. Let it be known I'm not a fan of any of these sites.

First thing at the top of DailyKOS today: a quote from Jay Leno.

Real hateful motherfarker there. More from talk show hosts. Next thing, Associated Press Continues To Carry McCain's Water. Not much really hateful there. Calls AP on reporting on anti-McCain ads, from his POV, defends the ads, which quote McCain. Next thing, Reminder of a Louisianan special election.


First thing on Moveon.org, a motherfarking QUIZ:
You have been challenged

Remember the Pepsi-Coke Challenge? Here's a new twist: Try the Bush-McCain Challenge-our new online quiz-and see if you can tell the difference between Bush and McCain!


First thing on Huffington Post:
Bush: Economy Is "Going To Come On"
Bush Has Spent Almost $1 Trillion On Wars...
70% Of Americans Say Things Are Going Badly...


Facts, poll numbers, and a farking quote.

Show me the hate.

I had a Whopper at Burger King for dinner last night. By this guy's reasoning, that means that I've utterly rejected McDonald's and all it stands for, and furthermore that McDonald's is on the verge of extinction.

Obama and Hillary reject liberal Web sites

Anybody who thinks DailyKOS is a liberal website wouldn't know liberalism if it bit them in the ass. The site is partisan , no doubt, but being rabidly pro-Democrat is not, repeat NOT the same thing as being pro-liberalism.

Oh good grief, if I knew the author was that out of touch I wouldn't have even bothered critiquing his piss-poor understanding of pro-liberalism vs pro-Democratic Party.

Exactamundo. DailyKos exists to elect more and better Democrats. There is no liberal party in the US and no left-wing to speak of. The American conception of "liberal" is known as "anti-fascist" everywhere else in the world.

rush_limbaugh_sent_me: When I saw Hillary in the text of this thread, it reminded me of this hilarious story:

Have you ever heard of the Greek island of Lesbos? There is a Greek island called Lesbos for those of you who didn't know. "A Greek court has been asked to draw the line between the natives of the Aegean Sea island of Lesbos and the world's gay women. Three islanders from Lesbos -- home of the ancient poet Sappho, who praised love between women -- have taken a gay rights group to court for using the word lesbian in its name. One of the plaintiffs said Wednesday that the name of the association, Homosexual and Lesbian Community of Greece, 'insults the identity' of the people of Lesbos, who are also known as Lesbians. 'My sister can't say she is a Lesbian,' said Dimitris Lambrou. 'Our geographical designation has been usurped by certain ladies who have no connection whatsoever with Lesbos,' he said." So an argument here over terminology taking place in Greece.




Are you going to post this utter tripe in every thread?

What you've just said is one of the most insanely idiotic things I have ever heard. At no point in your rambling, incoherent response were you even close to anything that could be considered a rational thought. Everyone in this room is now dumber for having listened to it. I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul.

Most political blogs in general are crap. Kos is a liberal tabloid.

 
GoRedSoxGo 2008-05-02 11:12:26 PM  
That was the most pisspoor piece of writing I've seen in a long time. Failed in logic and just about everything else. Mods, what the fark is the matter with you?

 
Prospero424 [TotalFark] 2008-05-02 11:29:09 PM  
Political blogs and online communities like Kos and Malkin, etc. are perfectly fine for casual use as long as you keep in mind at all times that their agenda is to persuade, not to enlighten.

 
Somacandra [TotalFark] 2008-05-03 12:16:44 AM  
rush_limbaugh_sent_me: Heh. I knew liberals wouldn't find this story funny. :)

Why is it funny to anyone? The entire county of Macedonia was recently excluded from NATO membership because Greece refused to let in any country using the word Macedonia (new window), since it claims exclusive historical rights to the name. This the same part of the world that just had a massive Albanian uprising in the middle of the Balkins just a few years ago. What's in a name? Potentially a helluva lot more than you're aware of in the world, it seems. This may seem funny to you, but serious wars have been started over much less.

Kos is the kiss of death. The right wing crazy of talk radio is being rejected too, when it comes to actual votes. They hate McCain and wanted Romney.

I know the Kos crowd will point at 2006 and the Senate races in VA and MT, but those guys won because they're moderates.

Even Kos himself is more moderate than left wing crazy, but he has to keep his traffic humming.

randomjsa 2008-05-03 03:03:12 AM  
Well it's nice to see Obama is denouncing the hand that has been feeding him but then again it's somewhat hard to embrace bigots like Daily Kos.

 
SemperLieSuckah 2008-05-03 03:10:49 AM  
Murkanen: Democrats != liberal

It's all so damn blurred, words don't mean anything anymore. To "lie" means to say something disagreeable, making a terrorist afraid or uncomfortable is "torture", a firearm with a compensator is an "assault rifle".

The Democrat party/liberals/leftists are going to destroy the world merely by redefining everyday language to it's hyperbolic extreme, then referencing history to justify it when they ban every day things.

Soon the Democrat Congress will be trying to protect us all from the millions of bombs that are detonated at public gatherings across America every 4th of July. Do not worry citizen, President Nancy Pelosi-Reid will protect you.

SemperLieSuckah:

Incorrect, lying is what you are doing now by telling untruths in an attempt to win an argument. If you want an example of saying something disagreeable, see Smart Ass' post.

making a terrorist afraid or uncomfortable is "torture", a firearm with a compensator is an "assault rifle".

Again, incorrect. Torture has a specific definition. That your perception of certain activities (and let us be honest, your uninformed opinion of what said activities do) causes you to think that those acts, despite fitting the definition of torture, shouldn't count as such is irrelevant.

a firearm with a compensator is an "assault rifle".

Wow, one valid point out of three listed examples. It's a good thing this isn't a test of your critical thinking ability, because if it were you would have failed utterly.

The Democrat party

There is no such political party within the United States, so your fears of them destroying your country are unfounded.

 
SemperLieSuckah 2008-05-03 12:02:56 PM  
Murkanen: Instead of arguing about it, just go find me the "specific" definition of torture. You'll find that it's not specific.
